I'm not seeing where vi said vi was suicidal, or even touched on the subject?

Seems kinda ableist to read that into it to me?

[Edit: I had missed a single mention on the final toot of the thread, apologised below]

I really like the favorite/boost/bookmark distinctions. I also like the fact that here you have to go back to the original post to talk--my brain says lovechild of Twitter and Pillowfort. Also, accountability, woohoo!

So. In my view.

Favorite: HEY YOU this was a COOL THING.

Boost: HEY EVERYONE this was a COOL THING.

Bookmark: HEY ME don't forget about this COOL THING.

Reply: OMG WHAT A COOL THING can we TALK about it?

This is some of the coolest innovation I've seen. As a wheelchair user this has the potential to revolutionize how disabled people travel making flights more accessible and greatly reducing (if not outright eliminating) the vast majority of damage done to mobility equipment by airlines every day. #AirTravel #Airlines #Innovation #Disability #DisabilityInclusion #Travel #FlyingWhileDisabled

Welcome on board

For wheelchair users, travelling by plane can often be a challenging and undignified process. An award-winning invention that allows passengers to take their own chair on board is aiming to change that and make flying a more accessible and inclusive experience.

@Spatz

I had migrated my account to @theheadofabroom which was likely responsible for this, and me not seeing your message until now.

(I've reactivated this account as disabled.social is currently down and I wanted to contact the instance admin)

It has been far too long since I sent a picture of my #fedicats
@krn I'm not seeing that in the play store, iOS?

The Times is reporting that all 4 MPs on Johnson’s resignation honours list - Nadine Dorries, Alister Jack, Nigel Adams, Alok Sharma - are all planning to “defer” their peerages until the next election

But this is totally unprecedented - how can you be both a member of the Commons *and* the Lords at the same time?

If Sunak lets them do this, but the King objects, well - we’ll have ourselves a little constitutional crisis 🚨
